| 18 | 74:36 | 2001-04-15 | near Rochester | Olmsted | (see Unacceptable record #2001-45). | Accepted | |||
| 19 | 74:161 | 2001-09-28 | near Hawley | Clay | (record #2002-06, vote 6-1). Because of the difficulty in separating White-faced from Glossy Ibis in late summer and fall, most ibis records then Ornithologists' Union Records Committee Kim R. Eckert, MOURC Chairman will eventually be accepted and filed as unidentified Plegadis ibis. | Accepted | |||
| 20 | 74:36 | 2001-10-17 | 2001-10-18 | near Camden State Park | Lyon | (record #2001-59, vote 7-0). Field identification of immature ibis as White-faced or Glossy in fall is very difficult, and most will remain and be filed as unidentified Plegadis ibis | Accepted | ||
| 21 | 75:41 | 2002-08-24 | near Dovray | Murray | (record #2002-82, vote 7-0). As a juvenile bird, this ibis was not possible to identify in the field. | Accepted | |||
| 75:160 | 2002-09-04 | Kandiyohi | (record #2003-02, vote 3-4). This was another narrow decision involving an identification that was probably correct, but again with a brief description coming only from memory after a delay of some months. In this case, the birds were seen only after sunset as distant flying silhouettes, with no plumage features or overall color visible, the birds' sizes as described were unclear, and the observer had difficulty determining if the bills were decurved. | Not Accepted | |||||
| 22 | 75:160 | 2002-09-07 | Island Lake | Lyon | (record #2003-17, vote 6-1). | Accepted | |||
| 23 | 75:41 | 2002-10-10 | 2002-10-12 | Hamden Slough National Wildlife Refuge | Becker | (record #2002-73, vote 7-0). This ibis was initially reported as a Ornithologists' Union Records Committee Kim R. Eckert, MOURC Chairman Plegadis ibis, 12 October 2002, Hamden Slough N.W.R., Becker County. Photo by Peder Svingen. Glossy, but further observations determined that it was an unidentified juvenile ibis. | Accepted | ||
| 24 | 75:160 | 2003-04-17 | Winkler Wildlife Management Area | Jackson | (record #2003-18, vote 5-2). | Accepted | |||
| 25 | 75:160 | 2003-05-03 | Bloomington | Hennepin | (record #2003-20, vote 7-0). These three records involved birds which were either seen in fall, when most Plegadis ibis are difficult or impossible to identify in the field, or birds which were seen only in flight at a distance. | Accepted | |||
| 26 | 76:39 | 2003-06-26 | near Magnolia | Rock | (record #2003-48, vote 7-0). The observer only saw this bird in flight and was unable to determine its eye and facial skin colors or if any white feathering was present on the face. | Accepted | |||
| 27 | 76:152 | 2004-04-30 | Lewiston wastewater treatment ponds | Winona | (see Not Accepted record #2004-013). | Accepted | |||
| 28 | 77:9 | 2004-07-02 | Borchardt Rosin W.M.A. | Lac qui Parle | (recirculated record #2004-084, vote 6-1 for all 13 individuals, please see comments under Not Accepted record). | Accepted | |||
| 29 | 78:126 | 2004-08-17 | Walter Township | Lac qui Parle | (record #2006-004, vote 6-1). Though submitted more than 17 months late and unaccompanied by field notes, documentation for this immature ibis included two photographs. | Accepted | |||
| 30 | 77:9 | 2004-09-18 | West Toqua Lake, Graceville Township | Big Stone | (record #2004-118, vote 7-0). | Accepted | |||
| 31 | 77:9 | 2004-10-03 | seven miles east of Ortonville, Odessa Township | Big Stone | (record #2004-098, vote 7-0). | Accepted | |||
| 32 | 77:9 | 2004-10-13 | Black Rush Lake | Lyon | (record #2004-117, vote 7-0). | Accepted | |||
| 33 | 77:9 | 2004-11-07 | Prairie View Township | Wilkin | (record #2004-114, vote 7-0). | Accepted | |||
| 34 | 78:126 | 2005-04-24 | near Waubun | Mahnomen | (record #2006-007, vote 7-0). | Accepted | |||
| 35 | 77:169 | 2005-04-30 | 2005-05-02 | Clare Johnson W.M.A. | Lincoln | (record #2005-035, vote 7-0 for two adults, also see Not Accepted records below). Although both birds were unanimously Accepted as Plegadis ibis the written description eliminated neither Glossy Ibis nor hybrid White-faced X Glossy Ibis (see North American Birds 57:136-139). | Accepted | ||
| 77:169 | 2005-05-01 | Hills | Rock | (record #2005-013, vote 2-5 for three individuals). Three ibises reported with an Accepted record of one White-faced Ibis were not described in any way. | Not Accepted | ||||
| 36 | 77:169 | 2005-05-28 | Plover Prairie | Lac qui Parle | (record #2005-033, vote 7-0). Seven dark ibises of indeterminate age were seen only in flight and prudently, were left unidentified. | Accepted | |||
| 37 | 78:126 | 2005-07-27 | Swenson Lake | Big Stone | (record #2006-014, vote 7-0). | Accepted | |||
| 38 | 78:126 | 2005-08-23 | Royal Township | Lincoln | (record #2006-016, vote 6-1). | Accepted | |||
| 39 | 78:40 | 2005-09-23 | 2005-09-28 | 180th Street marsh | Dakota | (record #2005-062, vote 7-0). Submitted as an unidentified Plegadis ibis and accepted as such; in spite of good photographs, the true color of its irides could not be demonstrated. | Accepted | ||
| 40 | 78:40 | 2005-10-09 | 2005-10-15 | Munnwyler Lake near Ortonville | Big Stone | (record #2005-069, vote 7-0). Though photographed about two weeks later than the juvenile in the preceding record, it was still not possible to distinguish reddish tones in the irides from an artifact of reflected light. | Accepted | ||
| 78:40 | 2005-11-17 | 2005-11-24 | Spring Lake | Dakota | (record #2005-079, vote 1-6). The description of this exceptionally late ibis was submitted by an individual who did not actually see the bird. | Not Accepted | |||
| 41 | 78:126 | 2006-05-04 | 2006-05-06 | Danvers W.M.A. | Swift | (record #2006-044, vote 7-0). | Accepted | ||
| 42 | 79:50 | 2006-08-05 | 22 first-fall birds along county road 54; 1.6 miles west of county road 61; Toqu | Big Stone | (record #2006-066, vote 7-0 for each of 22 individuals). A dramatic beginning to an unprecedented influx of mostly immature ibises into Minnesota. | Accepted | |||
| 43 | 79:50 | 2006-08-06 | Mud Lake | Traverse | (record #2006-067, vote 7-0). | Accepted | |||
| 44 | 79:50 | 2006-08-15 | 2006-10-07 | along state highway 28 just west of county road 61, Toqua Township | Big Stone | (record #2006-068, vote 7-0 for each of 23 individuals). 1-3 adults and 16-20 first-fall birds. Thirteen of these were identifiably photographed. Some may have been among the flock of 22 seen several miles away on 5 August (record #2006-066), though that flock was seen departing to the southeast. | Accepted | ||
| 45 | 79:50 | 2006-08-19 | section 1; Prior Township | Big Stone | (record #2006-069, vote 7-0). | Accepted | |||

| 47 | 79:50 | 2006-08-20 | near Low Flow area at Big Stone N.W.R. | Big Stone | (record #2006-072, vote 7-0). This unaged bird was found shortly after sunrise on the Big Stone County side of the river and obligingly flew into Lac Qui Parle County before it disappeared to the southeast. | Accepted | |||
| 48 | 79:50 | 2006-08-20 | 2006-10-07 | 5–20 first-fall birds along Auto Tour Route at Big Stone N.W.R. | Lac qui Parle | (record #2006-071, vote 7-0 for first five individuals, vote 6-1 for fifteen more). | Accepted | ||
